    Pregnant and planning

    Is your doctor okay with you traveling in your last trimester? Most will recommend you avoid any travel -flying or long drives in the last trimester. It is still pretty early in your pregnancy and i am sure you are feeling good right now but certainly anything can happen despite if your first...

    How To Convince Fiance To Go To WDW

    I could see how he may not want to honeymoon at WDW having never gone and maybe was envisioning more of a adult only resort trip. I guess you could just plan for an Orlando trip with a stay at WDW but look at all the other parks and things to do in the area. Or do some sort of compromise with...

    Travel agent vs booking on your own

    I couldn't agree more!!! This is why i have a trip planned for this April and already am in the planning stages for our big family trip in April of 2108. I love researching and learning about the different restaurants we haven't tried or the little less known things you can do in the...

    Trying to figure out our next trip

    You may want to look at when other events are going on. From end of March to end of May is flower and garden at Epcot. I am going to experience it for the first time this year. I am a little worried that the parks wont seem as magical as they do around christmas, but the pictures i have seen...

    Travel agent vs booking on your own

    I think you get better deals if you search out the rates/deals yourself. There are not really any savings on park tickets comparing AAA to undercover tourist, i don't believe they have any better access to room discounts. My co-worker went through a travel agent for her families trip and was...

    Has Anyone Used DVC-Rental?

    I haven't used the website you listed but did used davids dvc. It was a very easy transaction with no glitches. Communication was excellent. In order to get the dining plan (which would probably apply to any rental company) they suggest buying a disney gift card for the dining plan and then...

    How Many DVC Resorts Have You Stayed At?

    fairly new owner so we are working on it. We stayed SSR before we became owners, staying at BWV in April, AKV planned for April 2018 with a possible split stay at Poly or WL. We are hoping to hit all the East coast resorts at some point.

    Is DVC worth it?

    As far as I have ever read - DVD can never increase the total points for the resort -- so if they started out with a total points for all rooms of say 500,000 -- that is all they get to play with -- they can adjust and realign them (which they have done in the past by increasing some week day...

    Is DVC worth it?

    You will save money in the long run if you plan to visit Disney at least every other year. You meet your break even point faster if you purchase a resale contract. So that is definitely something to research. Just to give you numbers that you can see -- we purchased a 120 point AKV contract...

    Any kidani map that shows where 2BR standards are?

    I just checked out that website -- very cool!!! that is exactly what i was looking for. Hopefully that will help with making a room request. This definitely helped me make lean towards staying at Kidani vs Jambo -- We don't mind walking so if we want to be in the hussle and bussle of Jambo we...

    Any kidani map that shows where 2BR standards are?

    I am planning a trip for extended family to AKV - we own DVC but have never stayed at either Jambo or Kidani. I am torn -- Jambo for the more exciting feel, larger grand lobby, more dining options, but slightly smaller room with one less bathroom and a pull out queen. From all that i have...

    Disney haircut

    We did on a whim for my twin boys. Happened to call on a Saturday and we could get in first thing on Monday. It was a great experience and when they went it was $15 each (in 2014) so not too bad seeing that is what we pay at home. I think the barbers in there are staples and were the same...

    Points transfers

    If you only need 12 points then the easiest thing to do would be to buy the one time points at $15pp (so $180). I believe this can only be done 7 months out and for new reservations so you should be good to do this now. You have to call member services. Like someone mentioned you could just...

    Paying for DVC?

    We paid cash for a smallish (120 pt) resale contract. We did not want nor could we afford an additional monthly payment. Buying direct would have been much too expensive for us and we did not want PVB or AUL for our home resort. Buying resale fit our needs right now to travel every other year...

    Disney Vacation Savings account and ? 2% back with disney visa

    I wasn't sure which forum to post this under. I was looking into the disney vacation savings account. I have heard of deals that can be had with purchasing discount Target gift cards and then turning around and buying disney gift cards for a little bit of savings. Then loading them into the...

    what are the 2016 Maintenance fees

    We are in the process of purchasing a resale contract. One of the stipulations, because it is stripped contract is that the seller is going to give a credit at closing for the 2016 MF. We are probably going to close sometime in November. Will the numbers be released by then? I don't want to...

    Any trouble renting points through resale

    I should have been clearer with my question. For those who own a DVC and you choose to rent out your points through a DVC renter such as David's have you ever encountered a problem when they are unable to rent them out therefore you loose out on your points.

    Any trouble renting points through resale

    im just wondering if anyone has had trouble renting their points through resale. I am guessing there is no guarantee that your points can and will be rented

    Booking two rooms at the same time

    i am guessing that you are able to book rooms at any time (11 months out at home resort) as long as you have the points, but I'd figured I would ask the question about this scenario. We are looking into purchasing a DVC resale in the amount of 120 points - with banking and borrowing we would...
